Skinny Genes® Oak

Maximize your landscape’s vertical potential with the Skinny Genes® Oak (Quercus x bimundorum 'JFS-KW2QX'), the narrowest and most columnar hybrid oak available. This architectural marvel is the ultimate solution for tight urban spaces, narrow side yards, or creating a sophisticated, high-impact privacy screen without the massive footprint of traditional oaks. Featuring glossy, dark green foliage that remains clean and resistant to powdery mildew throughout the summer, this tree provides a polished look in any setting.

As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into a beautiful display of yellow and tawny-gold hues. Its tight, fastigiate habit and strong central leader make it incredibly wind-resistant and low-maintenance, requiring very little pruning to maintain its sleek form. Highly adaptable and urban-tolerant, the Skinny Genes® Oak thrives in full sun and various soil conditions, including those with higher pH. It’s a heritage-quality tree that offers the longevity and strength of an oak in a modern, space-saving silhouette.
